The Amalfi Coast, Privately Yours

Private villa rental on the Amalfi Coast ranges from approximately €15,000 per week for a well-positioned four-bedroom property in Praiano to €80,000 or more per week for a staffed, sea-view estate in Positano with a private pool. Peak weeks in July and August command a premium. Private Travel Club presents only properties that match your brief, with full pricing transparency and no hidden fees.

Late May, June, and September offer the best balance of warm weather, calm seas, and manageable visitor numbers. July and August are peak season — the coast is at its most beautiful but also its most congested on the main road. Guests who travel by private boat or helicopter bypass road traffic entirely, making peak season viable. October brings cooler temperatures, golden light, and near-empty restaurants, and remains a favourite month for repeat guests.

True private islands in this area are rare, but Li Galli — the three islets off Positano once owned by Rudolf Nureyev — can occasionally be chartered as a day destination by private boat. For island exclusivity, guests often combine an Amalfi Coast villa with a private yacht charter that allows anchoring overnight in secluded coves. Private Travel Club advises on current availability and can coordinate multi-night offshore itineraries along the Campanian archipelago.

The most efficient option is a helicopter transfer from Naples Capodichino to a landing pad above Positano or Ravello — flight time is approximately 12 minutes. Alternatively, a private car with a professional driver covers the distance in 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. For guests arriving by private jet into Naples or Salerno, Private Travel Club pre-positions the transfer vehicle or helicopter to meet the aircraft at the apron.

Yes, with the right planning. The most family-friendly bases are Praiano and Maiori, which have flatter access and calmer beaches than Positano. A private villa with a pool removes the need to compete for beach space. Private Travel Club arranges certified childcare, age-appropriate guides, and boat charters with appropriate safety equipment. Families travelling with younger children often find that a private chef and in-villa dining eliminates the logistical difficulty of restaurant evenings entirely.

Several: early-morning exclusive access to the gardens of Villa Cimbrone in Ravello before public opening; private cooking lessons in working clifftop masserias not open to tourists; guided dives in the marine protected area of Punta Campanella with a permit-holding biologist; and access to the private cellars of small Campanian wine estates in the hills above Furore. Private Travel Club holds the personal relationships that make these possible — none can be secured through standard online booking channels.
